Great Google offer, how to negotiate it up?

Got a pretty good offer at one of Google locations in Europe. Don't have any other offers (may get one from FB), but the comp is already much bigger than my current one. What arguments can I use to drive it higher? Should I focus on base or stock? Total comp: around $220k Yoe: 5

Curious about the European location. 220k is already quite high for Europe. How much of it is salary vs stocks?

Most likely in Zurich.

Are you saying that it's too little for the comp?

By getting competing offers.

Yes but due to high salary package of Google Zurich it will be difficult to get a better competiting offer anywhere else in Europe

Suppose I get a competing offer, but it's lower, how can I use it?

What level? Focus on stock, you won't get a higher base for emea. Also check you tax equalization and health insurance sitch.

It's about 70% more than my current one, which is all cash

Pretend you have a better offer. Be prepared to walk away.
